Moving my topic to its own thread. It was related to estimates.

On the topic of estimates. I'm currently pregnant and my prenatal care billing and hospital birth will get covered by my insurance much faster and smoother if I get estimates for these services. To get that I've called billing (who does offer to put together estimates) but I have to speak directly to both the clinic and the on ward to get all the codes.... Even though billing is in the same damn building and you know this is going to be thousands in cash for the hospital system. Why in the world is it my responsibility to hound these departments/clinics for the info. Why cant I just sign a waiver for billing to talk to them?

It's made much harder as a general number or email for each department/clinic isn't available. I asked billing on the best way to get the codes and they had no answer other than talk to department clinic. There's no protocol just for specifically this situation.
